The tutorial has three presentations:
Introduction to IPTV
Dr. Wei Li, Research Scientist, Communications Research Centre Canada
IPTV Networks and QoE (Quality of Experience)
Mr. Nick Fielibert, CTO & Chief Architect Europe&Asia , Scientific Atlanta / Cisco
IPTV End Systems (middleware, home network, terminal devices)
Dr. Shuji Hirakawa, Secretary, IEC TC 100 / Toshiba Corporation
Internet protocol television (IPTV) has been a hot topic in recent years. IPTV can deliver broadcast television and other multimedia services over secure, managed, IP-based broadband networks with the required level of quality of service. It can also provide bundled service offerings that encompass internet access, audio/video/data and interactive services, as well as mobile delivery.
IPTV is being regarded as a great business opportunity - a multi-billion dollar market - for content providers, service providers and equipment manufacturers. With ever-increasing investment in broadband networks, and fibre to the home, the door is open to a seemingly endless array of services and a fully converged network experience for consumers.
This tutorial is presented by the IEEE Broadcast Technology Society. It
provides a high level overview of IPTV network architectures and
underlying technologies. As far as possible, the issues will be illustrated with field trial and deployment case studies.
